After whiche fyght the Erle of Flaunders spedde hym towarde Gaunt, where as kynde Ed¦warde than soiourned / & the erle of Artoys drewe hym towarde ye Frēche kynge, the whiche shortly after was receyued into the towne of Bruges. In whiche tyme and season whyle ye sayd .ii. kynges laye thus at eyther towne, a meane of peas was there treated of / so that fynally a peas was cōcluded atwene the .ii. kynges, and atwene the Frenche kynge and Guy erle of Flaūders, vnto the feest of all sayntes than next ensuenge. And frō that day, vnto the feast of all sayntes thā .ii. yeres folowyng. After whiche peas so stablysshed / kynge Edwarde departed from the towne of Gaunte & yode to Burdeaux. And ye Frenche kynge retourned into Fraunce. And prysoners were delyuered on bothe partyes.
In this tyme and season whyle kynge Edwarde was thus occupy∣ed in Flaūders / the Scottes by the entysement of the Frenche kynge, to the entent to cause kynge Edwarde to kepe his countre, & that he shulde nat ayde the erle of Flaunders, be∣ganne to make warre vpon the kyn∣ges soudyours, whiche ye kynge had lafte there in dyuers holdes. And al∣so entred vpon ye borders of Northū∣berlande, & made sharpe warre vpon the inhabytauntes of that countre. And for that syr Iohn̄ Bayloll theyr kynge, after some wryters, was at y• tyme prysoner in the towre of Lon∣don, or els voyded the coūtre for fere of the kynge of Englande: therfore the sayde Scottes made them a ca∣pytayne / the whiche was named wyl¦lyam waleys a man of vnknowen or lowe byrth, to whom they obeyed as vnto theyr kynge.
